I just got back from Blomstermåla in Särö. Where I spent the morning hanging my paintings for this weekends exhibition. For example you will be able to se the miss-spelled painting turned into something new. Don´t miss it!

I am so proud of my friends at Björns Bar/Kock o Vin and Familjen! The restaurant Familjen recieved the White Guide "best ambience" prize and Kock o Vin is now "the third best restaurant in Sweden" acording to the White Guide. Tjooohoooo! Can you believe they let me have my paintings on their prizewinning walls. Thank you guys!

I know some of you get anoyed with me for my bad spelling. I don´t always spell the words in English right. Sometimes I don´t even know how to spell in Swedish. Sometimes not even when I paint. The word "do" is "gör" in Swedish. Yesterday my mind for a second thought it was "gjör". Well well ... Nobody is perfect! Still a beautiful painting though.

Maybe I should do what my brother suggested and start selling the miss-spelled ones at Freeport, the outlet.

Yesterday was my birthday. I am at that age where birthdays no longer count. I prefer to celebrate an ordenary Thuesday, or Sunday. Don´t want to sound morbide, but everyday is worth celebrating when you have had a period of illness and hurt. Usually I don´t care much for presents. I like giving them, but don´t need any of my own. But my husband gave me the perfect gift. As usuall. He is good at giving thoughtful things. In the beginning of April we (me, him and the dog) are going back to my favourite place - Östangård!

Not only did they say "Welcome! Bring the dog." They also said "Please bring the paintings and the necklaces when you come" Tjoooohoooo! My answer is "I will!"

There is no perfect English translation to the Swedish word "lycka". Happiness, only express the happy part of the word. Joy, is good but not exactly right. Luck, kind of also has to do with it... The word "lycka" contains so much more. It is one of my favourites!
